I want to play a movieclip between some specific frames. For example, if the user puts the cursor over a button, it will play from frame 1 and stop at frame 27, when the user roll the cursor out of the button, it will play from frame 28 to 45.
I've tried something like this but of course it didn't work...
gotoAndPlay(1 -27);
Basically, I have my main set of menu buttons for navigating my site. For argument sake let's call them:
menu1, menu2, menu3, menu 4 etc. , where menu1 takes you to scene1, menu2 to scene2 etc.
Each scene morhphs into the next, so instead of simply having gotoAndStop("scene 1"), I would like the movie to play until it reaches the desired scene. I guess one way of thinking of it, is that it's a bit like coverflow in itunes.
That's stage one of the question - if I can at least get that far I'd be happy. But to add one level of complexity, I would love it to also play in reverse if you're going say from scene4 to scene1. Again, similar to cover flow.
I'm using Flash CS3 and AC2... I have a button on my main TL and I want to go back a few frames and play a MC at a specific frame when hit.
View 3 RepliesI'm looking for a simple way to have a button do 2 things:1. Play main timeline a specific amount of frameshen2. Goto a specific spot in the main timelineHow do I specify how many frames to play before the second bit happens?So far I'm trying to get something like this to do it but what to add in play()
Code:
Main.onRelease = function() {
play();

Im trying to make a cursor display when rolling over a movieclip only between a specific range of frames. with this code the cursor shows up in the range of frames but doesnt follow the mouse, and the mouse pointe ris visible

if (thisFrame < 90) {

I have a movie clip on the main timeline. This movieclip has buttons that I want to play different frames in scene 1.
At the moment, this is the code I'm using in scene 1.
[Code]...
I'm getting the error below but have no idea what I should be doing.
[Code]...
What I want to do is have one movieclip that has many frames and turn that into a button and then make different instances of the button and have those instances display a certain frame of the underlying movieclip.
View 17 RepliesI'm using Flash CS4 with AS3. I'm building a website for a friend the problem I have. When a user clicks on a button I want it to play a movie clip then stop at a specfic frame. I want all the buttons to play the same movieclip but go to a different frame.
The current actionscript I am using is located on frame 1 is:
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, homebuttonClicked);
function homebuttonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndStop(0)
}about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, aboutbuttonClicked);
function aboutbuttonClicked(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("aboutme")
[Code] .....
This allows me to navigate to the right frame but does not play for obvious reasons, if I use the gotoAndPlay function its carries on playing to the end of the movie.
I am currently in the middle of making a "sniping" flash game. In the first level there are a series of moving targets which are also movie clips. Inside the movie clip there is a 7 frame animation of the target exploding. Inside that is a tween of the target moving up and down. And inside that there is a plain old button.
What I want to happen is when you click on the moving target it explodes and brings you to a new frame of the main timeline. (ex. Main Timeline frame #27) But I'm pretty sure it thinks I was to play the seven frame animation of it exploding and then go to frame 27 inside the movie clip, rather then frame 27 on the main timeline.
Here's what my AS looks like on the target (ActionScript 2.0 is what I'm using.)
on (press) {
play();
}
on (release){
gotoAndStop(27)}
So how do I make it explode and then take me to frame 27 on the main timeline?
how would you play the next 5 frames if the space bar was clicked and then stop the playhead?
View 4 RepliesI'm having a some trouble with loading an SWF into my main SWF. I have a main SWF with 4 frames. I want to click two buttons that will then load two SWF's into Frame 2 and Frame 3. Below is the script I wrote for the buttons. The earlywork_btn needs to load RColeman_EarlyWork.swf into frame 2. This swf is a slide show. The currentwork_btn needs to load RColemna_CurrentWork.swf into frame 3.
HERE IS MY SCRIPTS FOR MY BUTTONS:
stop();
function onbiographybuttonClick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("1");
[code]....
And in Frame 2 I have this script to load RColeman_EarlyWork.swf. It works, however, once it loads then it is in my enitre main swf file, basically each time I click a button it is ontop of the content in the other frames. How do I make it just stay in Frame 2? Also, I can only load this one swf file, not the other one into FRAME 3.
HERE IS MY SCRIPT TO LOAD THE SWF FILES:
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var url:String = "RColeman_EarlyWork.swf";
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
ldr.load(urlReq);
addChild(ldr);
My actionscript plays through out the entire animation. Is there a way to have it play on specific frames?[code]...
View 2 RepliesI have created a flash website and I would like to create links to specific frames of an external swf in another html page. I have researched flashvar a little bit and I have also been told that I am going to need to do some dynamic coding.
View 1 RepliesI have a need to add an object to the display list at a specified frame number. Something equivalent to addChildAtFrame(mc, 100).
I know I could achieved this by creating a layer within the fla, making a new frame at the desired location, and placing a blank movieclip within the frame in order to have a target displayObject to addChild to but I would prefer to do this via code.
Is there anyway to accomplish this dynamically?

When the value of _root.mc1._currentframe is 10 I want the value of _root.mc2._currentframe to be written (sent or changed) to a variable which I can use in mc1. So I want to be able to use this variable in different clips but I do not want it to be changed until the playhead in mc1 is in frame 10. However I do want the variable to be valid even if the playhead is not in frame 10. This should be so simple.
This is what I have in mc1:
Code: Select allon (press) {
press = true;
if (press == true) {

I have a simple animation that displays some text, and swaps out for a new one using FlashEff effects. It's all very simple, with each section containing only two dynamic text boxes and a background image along one timeline. At the end, I use an AS to loop. What I'd like, to impart some sense of variety, is for when the movie starts to actually begin at any one of the following frames: 2, 137, 329, 489, 618 or 750. It plays through to the end, and then goes to frame 2 to play through them all. In effect, just choosing a random start point for the whole cycle.
I can't get a handle on what AS to put in frame 1 that will select from THAT SET of random numbers.
Halp!
I am trying to work out printing from Flash. I have seen that to print a frame you make it's frame label '#p'. This however always prints each frame labelled '#p' on a print command.
I was wondering if there is a way to print specific frames depending on what the user has entered. For instance pressing one button prints one hidden frame and pressing another button prints a different hidden frame.
The print command im am using is : print(this,"bmax");
Is it possible to have an movieclip of about 50 frames and navigate between these 50 frames? As if u put a marker on frame 10 and one at frame 30 and if u use a button it plays to frame 10 and stops and use another button to go from frame 10 to frame 30 and stop... and reverse if u use the earlier button.
View 5 RepliesI am using Flex Builder 2 to create classes, leaving my FLA file void of scripts. I wish to extend a MovieClip class so that my new class would dispatch a specific event everytime it reaches the last frame. I could do this using an ENTER_FRAME listener which would launch a function call to see if the current frame is actually the last one, but I don't wish to do that and drop lag down my users' throat. I would rather prefer adding manually "endSequence()" to all of the animation sequences using Flash... which I really don't want to be doing as it would make updating very bothersome. Is there a way to add a script to a frame programmatically so I don't have to use Flash to add bits of script to the last frame of each of my concerned MovieClips?
View 2 RepliesAre there anyway to get number of frames in a specific scene? There's a totalFrames property of MovieClip class, but that's the total frames of all scenes.

How can use this function on other frames? Also I have considered that it might be some kind class I need to import, I don't know, I am still new AS and I and more familiar with AS2.
I have a class called 'Main' that runs as document class but the class i only want to work on a few frames. I can't use MyClass:Classname = new Classname(); because it doesn't work the same.
What happened with it being document class is that all my game functions happened on all of the frames when i want the games functions to happen on certain frames. So my question is, how do you get a class to work the same a document class for specific frames?
Is there a way to import the class 'Main' that will work the same as document class using MyClass:Main = new Main();? Because from my knowledge that is for objects.
